It is sad when one has to relate the state of things to that of a purgatory. But even in a purgatory, one gets an opportunity of redemption as it holds the promise of a better afterlife.[break]
To seek change is our inherent nature. This time-tested philosophy is not a new discourse. As a matter of fact, we all do acknowledge it; but this is also where the root of all our problems lies. There is a big hypocritical gap between our ideologies and actions.
As bleak as it may sound, the social vacuum it has gone on create in our society is troublesome, to say the least.
But gravity, it seems, is gradually gaining momentum. It is only a matter of when; and what better time than now? Our actions now match our principles, or at the least we seem to be getting there. The individual sense of humiliation and reflections, although belatedly, is breeding into a collective whole. The rage is intense. But there is fervor. There is fear. But there is also an utter rebellion breeding in all of us to do something.
Some of us might not know what it is that we have to do, but we are at least asking for directions. And for the first time in our lives, we as a nation have all the elements to achieve our own renaissance: We are all seeking change more than ever. The incentives, all of us believe, are limitless, and the opportunities only waiting to be reaped.
The question is: How long do we want to confront the same old problems? The call for genuine social changes has never been so loud and bold as it is now, and as the saying goes, “There are always choices we can begin to make, changes we can begin to invite, rules we can work to upset, angles of penetration we can try to explore. And if that’s not worth trying, well, what is?”
